Kantwise was shown into the room. "Halloo, Kantwise!" said Mr. Moulder, not rising from his chair, or giving any very decided tokens of welcome.

I hope I see you quite well; but looking at you I need not ask. Mr.
When Camillus learned this from his scouts, he drew out the Ardeatians, and in the dead of the night, passing in silence over the ground that lay between, came up to their works, and, commanding his trumpets to sound and his men to shout and halloo, he struck terror into them from all quarters; while drunkenness impeded and sleep retarded their movements.
And every time I says to him, says I, 'I reckon you think yourself as fine as the Lord Mayor of London? A pretty sec'tary you make!" "Have you seen him to-day?" "No, I haven't seen him to-day, but I see someone else. Mates," he exclaimed, "Witch Margery's coming down t' other side of creek. I'll call her over." Scrambling to his feet he gave a low halloo through his hands, "Margery! Margery!

It seemed as if they were, for, as she looked and listened, in considerable trepidation, the man approached the house in swift, swinging strides. Of course, it was the peddler.

Winslow could not see the men who gave this warning, but he was relieved. The halloo and answering shouts were heard by Lucrèce and Evaleen.

I would not that those days of battle returned; but I should love well to make the oaks of my old forest of Dalgarno ring once more with halloo, and horn, and hound, and to have the old stone- arched hall return the hearty shout of my vassals and tenants, as the bicker and the quaigh walked their rounds amongst them.
Then there was more conversation in a subdued tone of voice, and presently a commotion in the cane indicated that Don and Bert were working their way slowly toward the camp. Dan began to tremble and turn white, and his father looked as though he would have been glad to run if he had only known where to go. "Halloo!" exclaimed Bert, suddenly, "here we are.
